German football 2020/21

I know no one here said it, but seeing so many people say Bayern won the league yesterday when Dortmund lost a game to only have to watch Bayern lose today is kind of funny.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Bayern probably lost intentionally so people don't lose interest in the league so early.

I think we all know it’s inevitable anyways.

I'd say that Bayern's lack of depth signings is gonna come bite them in the butt. Liverpool were getting criticized for their lack of proper spending but what have Bayern done of note? Just bought Sane? They don't even have a proper backup striker to Lewandowski. Alaba starting as a CB is an embarrassment which they got away with last year because the rest of the team covered.

 

[Albatros]

"Very poor interpersonal skills"! This is a myth. I don t think so. He s very demanding to the players. This is right. Mourinho oder Guardiola are the same typs.

Mourinho and even Guardiola have been relatively popular among the players, Tuchel has ended up burning the bridges wherever he went. In Mainz he was called the Dictator and that wasn't meant with any affection. In Dortmund much of the room ended up hating him as well.

 

[Chimaera]

Hey, losses by the top clubs make it much more interesting. It all should be restored to normal in a month or two, but... for now, it's good to see some other clubs win matches against the top sides.

 

[Islay1989]

Kramaric has 9 goals in his last 3 games in the Bundesliga and 2nd most goals ever in the first two games of the season, only Gerd Mueller scored more than 5 in two opening games. Fantastic game by him against Bayern.

 

[Albatros]

Also more goals in those games than the whole last season before it, so we'll see how long it lasts.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Mainz fire Beierlorzer. Next club with no money searching a new coach.

 

[Albatros]

Beierlorzer was neither the problem nor the solution, in Mainz the whole club is in a dismal state now and quite frankly can't have its future at the highest level the way things are going.

 

[Bon Esprit]

2nd league side Würzburg is also firing their coach. They just got promoted, lost the first two games and now their coach can go? Mad world.

3rd league side Kaiserslautern, too

Crazy! It s too early.

Crazy! It s too early.

2020, the year of "the September coach massacre".

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Supercup is tomorrow. I couldn't care less.

It'll only make the game on the weekend more difficult. Put out the back ups, and give the game to Bayern. They'd probably win it anyway at this point.

Dortmund should have a general advantage either in this game or the fixtures on the weekend with having a bigger squad and being able to rotate easier, but Favre has to use it. I'm not sure he will.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

2020, the year of "the September coach massacre".

I think to some extent every club is really viewing post-lockdown 19/20 + 20/21 so far as pretty much the same season. So when clubs are sacking managers it's really on the back of what's happened since May rather than just the first few matches. The break between seasons was shortened and a lot of clubs didn't make a ton of personnel changes due to the financial issues caused by the crisis.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Manuel Baum will take over Schalke.
Bibiana Steinhaus will ref the Supercup and ends her career afterwards. I liked her. First female in that position IIRC.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Both teams put out half strength sides for the Super Cup.

 

[bluesfan94]

I don't know if Kimmich knew too much about that, but if he did, what a finish

 

[Lambo]

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Kimmich has scored the winning goal the last two games the two teams have met.

I wasn't upset with that game. You'd prefer to win all games, but its a glorified friendly. We've beaten them in this game before, and it means nothing. We rested over half the squad. Hopefully it helps at the weekend for the Bundesliga fixture.

And I thought we played pretty well. We missed like 2-3 chances that could've put us up in the second half. But our defense was exposed on the winning goal. Akanji had such a brutal game. I'm tired of watching him play. Dortmund is really weak at CB right now. We need Zagadou to return from injury soon.

Is Musiala a mega talent? Considering he’s getting pretty decent game time as a teenager for the European champs.

How are we defining mega? He’s not a no-doubt world class player, but he’s really good and deserves his minutes.

He is good enough to play for a CL winner. On the other hand Bayen's roster is thin. Very thin.

wow, union are destroying mainz.
